06 -
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, if you like heat
07 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
08 -
1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
→ Bacon Gravy
11 -
Salt and black pepper to taste
12 -
2 cups whole milk
13 -
4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
14 -
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
15 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
# Instructions:
01 -
In a wide bowl, stir together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, and some salt and pepper. In another bowl, mix the eggs and milk to make a light wash.
02 -
Dunk each pork chop into the seasoned flour, coat it in the egg mixture, then give it a second dusting of flour. Set them aside for 5-10 minutes so the coating sticks well.
03 -
Warm oil in a big skillet over medium heat. Fry the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until they’re golden and hit an internal temp of 145°F. Lay them on paper towels to soak up extra oil.
04 -
Using the same pan, fry the bacon bits till crispy. Keep about 2 tablespoons of the fat, then remove the bacon from the pan. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for a minute.
05 -
Pour the milk in little by little as you whisk to avoid lumps. Let it bubble on low heat for a few minutes until it thickens up. Season it with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the crunchy bacon back in and give it a final stir.
# Notes:
01 -
Let the flour coating sit on the chops before frying to get that crispy finish
02 -
Thin out the gravy easily by adding a little chicken broth
03 -
Pairs perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes, collard greens, or fresh green beans
